Describe archival materials at multiple levels of description

[[Main Page]] > [[System requirements]] > [[Functional requirements]]

'''Specification'''

Archivists must be able to describe materials at multiple [[Level of descripiton|levels]], reflecting the levels of arrangement. Descriptions at lower [[Level of description|levels]] should inherit information from higher [[Level of description|levels]] (e.g. [[Creator|creator]]). Descriptions at higher [[Level of description|levels]] should be consistent with information at lower [[Level of description|levels]] (e.g. dates and extent). The application must support multi-level description with inheritance and consistency across [[Level of description|levels]].

'''Associated metadata requirements'''

[[MTD-1.1.3|MTD-1.1.3 Indicate the level of descripiton]]

'''Associated quality requirements'''

Provide drop-down lists to select level of description.

Provide pick-lists to select parent level of desription / assign position in hierarchy of arrangement.

Show inherited information at lower levels of descripiton.

Calculate values at higher levels of description from lower (e.g. date ranges).

'''Associated technical requirements'''

'''ICA-AtoM implementation'''

ICA-AtoM ships with a default schema for levels of description (fonds, sub-fonds, series, sub-series, file, item). Administrators can edit to reflect institutional policy / terminology.

ICA-AtoM imposes no limits on the number of levels that can be used. A unit's position in the hierarchy is determined by the value selected in the Parent level field.

A description is recognized as the highest level when the Parent level field is blank.

''Discrete items'' (items not linked to a higher parent level) are permitted: simply leave the Parent level blank.

'''Known issues'''

ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta) cannot currently calculate values at higher levels from lower (e.g. date range); these must be manually entered at each level. The application does not enforce consistency.
